I'm close to finishing up a rather major update to the Attendance modification, so be on the lookout for a new version in the next couple of days. This will be posted in the 3.7 section, but I expect it to be fully compatible with 3.6.x as well. Here is a summary of the coming changes in the new version:

• Greatly improved handling of differing timezones. Hopefully, much of the problems you may have been seeing with time zone issues, etc, will be resolved now.
• Configurable response options.. You won't be stuck with Yes, No, Maybe. You can setup whatever responses you want.
• When events are updated, RSVPs will not be deleted unless the event moved to a different day, or the end date of a ranged or recurring event was shortened. Changing the recurring options will still automatically delete the associated RSVPs.
• The ability to suppress RSVP deletions on event update entirely, if you wish, although this isn't recommended.
• You can now specify a maximum number of attendees for an event. After the maximum is reached, you can configure members to either receive an error or have their response (RSVP) automatically changed to something else. This could be used to create a wait-list bucket, for instance. There won't be any automated system to move members from the wait-list if a space becomes available in this revision, however.
• The time stamp on the RSVP is no longer changed unless the member when the member simply updates his comments. The date will only be changed if the member changes from one response to another (i.e. Yes to No).

Those changes represent many of the requests that were previously made on this thread. Are there any other quick-win / easy changes that anyone else would like to see?

Thank you all for your patience. As I said, you should be seeing a new version released within the next few days or so.

Amazing work Farcaster :) very glad to see you working on it again! The timezone bug was a big issue for my lot who straddle two different timezones ><

I use your modification to handle sign up for game raids, so the ability to make a wait bucket to begin with would be awesome

So our statuss would be

'Approved for Invite' - editable by event maker only (so part of your max attendees)
'Available' - editable by all users
'Back up or might not be able to come' - editable by all users
'Not available' - editable by all users

Would that be possible? We can cope/live without it as we have so far by putting final line ups in the body of the event :)

otherwise big thumbs up!

Is there a way to set RSVP permissions? I want some users to be able to view the event but not RSVP to it.

You could set up a conditional to not display the rsvp form for certain usergroups.

I have no idea how to do that.

Check out this article:
http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/t...e_conditionals

What you'd want to do is make note of your usergroup numbers in the Usergroup Manager.

Then edit the template and "around" the $rsvp_form (that you added when installing), put this:


That will hide the RSVP form from everyone except people in the 6 and 13 usergroups.

If you wanted to show another message, instead of just hiding it, you'd do this:

Works great. I'm still learning the in & outs of vb coding. That worked great.

edit.....

I have an event up right now that says RSVP's have closed, even though the event isn't until tonight at 10PM.

I made sure that there wasn't any time int he "Close RSVP's this amount of time before event" and everything. Hrm...

See?

I love this hack! Is there any way to add a feature that starts a thread for each calendar posting. My Calendar is ignored a lot because those posting in it forget to start a thread about their events?

I am getting this error when trying to add an event to my calendar:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

What do I need to do to fix this?

I'm having the same problem. I tried to add (altough it was already in the .xml) but that didn't do the trick.
Error occurs when i press the save event-button. I'm using version 1.1.2 and vbulletin 3.7.0

In case other people are looking for a workaround:

Thank you!

Was this ever solved for 3.5.5 forums? Didn't see a resolution and I'm still not able to sort.

Farcaster, one request for your next update of this addon (or the 2.0 version if you're not longer updating this...). Given how extensive of an addon this has become, it would be great to get some hooks added to your code, mainly in the 'rsvp' function so we can add other functions to make use of the RSVP data.

Again, great addon... can't wait for 2.0 to work with all the other fun tools so I can upgrade. :D

Okay... only 1 complaint about this mod...

If I ever change the time of an event (say, only move it 1 hour forward or back), the entire RSVPs for that event get wiped out. I dont need this feature, and its problematic for me. Is there any way to disable this?

Also getting a weird template error (no uncached template name)
Page generated in 0.51526 seconds with 39 queries (1 queries for uncached templates) [Server Loads: 0.84 : 0.31 : 0.21]
Uncached templates: (1)

Jaxel,

I could see why wiping the RSVPs would be by design - they wouldn't want to assume that everyone would be available at the new time. I won't be of any help with trying to stop it from doing that; however. :(

Yes, I didnt say it was a bug... I know its programmed that way by design... I just want to turn it off... and since I need the vbEvents integration, i cant upgrade to 2.0 of this mod (which has the ability to turn it off).

This is a great mod and really makes the calendar much more useful.
I would need to update the link to the userprofile for the people who responded as I'm using a different userID query on my site.
Does anyone know where this can be changed as I couldn't find it in the template code?
Thanks.

Actually, it is easy, was just looking in the wrong template. The way to display the members attending is defined in the calendar_rsvp_bit template

Since V2 beta has never come out of beta and does not work with the other events hacks, I would be interested to learn if this events integration works with vbulletin 3.7.3

Has anyone tried this on vb 3.7.3?

We are in the middle of installing this featore on our forum

We would like to tweak the 3 options from
Yes, Maybe and No to Entrant, Spectator and Not Attending.

This i think i can do, but the other thing we wanna do is because there is a plan that we will be getting a lot of responses, we dont want to havea massive list with all the comments, just the link being the username, the members avatar and under there category of going or not.

And run these in a few rows/ columns to make it not such a long list.

can someone help how to do this please

thank you

Warren

I have gotten this to work on our forum. Below are the steps i took

vBulletin version : 3.7.3

NOTE: I have vB Events already install from previous version of vBulletin.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ent+attendance

Step0 : I uninstalled both products below.


Step1 : Re-Installed Farcaster's Event Attendance 1.2.1
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ent+attendance


Step2 : Re-Installed Farcaster's Event Attendance & Event Forums Add-On 1.1.1
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=133970


Step3 : Only If you get an error about "securitytoken". Follow the instructions on this post.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=102

Here's mine below. (just made it the last line)

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="getinfo" />
<input type="hidden" name="cdo" value="rsvp" />
<input type="hidden" name="day" value="$rsvp_day" />
<input type="hidden" name="e" value="$eventinfo[eventid]" />
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />


Hope this helps some of you. Goodluck!

I also got this to work in 3.8...

Thank you very much.
Since the plugins were already installed before our recent VB update, I followed the info in Elenna's post.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=102

We are running VB version 3.7.4.

yep, with <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" /> it now works in 3.8.2 :)

getting this error when users try to RSVP:

Fatal error: Call to a member function shareads() on a non-object in /home/darkstarr/domains/westernpariders.com/public_html/includes/functions.php(5721) : eval()'d code on line 15

Here's what line 5721 looks like:

annnd line 15 is blank..

Gonna take a looksy and read the thread.. otherwise all your event related mods are great :)

reinstalled, works.. sorry.

I realize that this feature is added in the new version of this mod, but I am not prepared to install the new version yet.

Does anyone know how to get the RSVP time to not update when someone just changes their RSVP comment? I would like it to only update when someone changes their RSVP from one option to another (Yes to No, etc).

I realize that no one may know the answer to this question, but I'll ask it anyways.

I've followed and used the event attendance hack since it's inception. It was originally coded by Kentaurus, updated by arpy, and then finally updated by Farcaster. Arpy's version kept Kentaurus's database structure, so it was backwards compatible. Does Farcaster's version keep arpy and Kentaurus's database structure?

Looking at the install php for Farcasters and at the original code for Kentaurus's version, the db structures are completely different.

Kent's added to the existing event table. Farcasters creates a new table called eventattendance.

Kent's seemed like it simply added a variable to the event listing indicating the user name/id and the attendance setting. Farcaster's has a field for the eventid to match with an event as well as more fields for the comment, response, and userid.

Arpy's version used the same db structure as Kent's. If Farcaster's version found Arpy's installed, it would migrate the rsvps to the new db format.

I think I'll need to upgrade to 3.5rc2 and then upgrade to 3.8.3 and install Farcasters. I wonder if uninstalling Farcasters and then installing Arpy's on 3.8.3 and then re-installing Farcaster's would work to fool Farcaster's into doing the db transition? Only one thing to do...try it.

For some reason, Farcaster's install won't recognize Arpy's plugin when installed on 3.8.3. I guess I'll have to make a customized version of Farcaster's install to migrate the data.

Made a custom install where I just removed the check for Arpy's version and it just migrates the db anyways.

Now, I'm trying to find a way to replace the radio buttons and submit box with a simple link. I don't need all the extra features of this plugin, so I'm trying to bring it back to the way Arpy's plugin worked, except this one integrates with event forums.

Anyone know how to change the forms submission into a link?

I had problems so I reinstalled, it's working now except...

The Administration group can't see it! I thought it was still broke and then saw a member saying he did the RSVP...made a new account and there it is. Sign in as me and I can't see it....heck even guest can see it. :(

Anyone know why a certian usergroup cannot see the RSVP form?


ON EDIT: It seems that I amd the only one who can't see it. I made a test screen name and saw it fine, removed me from admin and still couldn't see the RSVP forum.

Help!! lol

Works on 3.83?

I believe this was fixed in a previous version of this, but I'm having an issue where a member in a European time zone is being placed on a different RSVP listing than others, as if the event he is RSVPing is on a different day (based on his time zone).

Does anyone remember how that was fixed, previously?

Sounds like something funny going on with just that memberid. I'm trying to remember if you can choose which usergroups can use rsvp...been a while since I've touched my sandbox site.

Yes, this will work in 3.8.3. You may find a bug in a certain situation, but everything I've tried has worked.

Anyone have any problems when upgrading to Patch Level 1 on 3.8.4?
